Here's a small peek behind the curtain of 3D production - showing the various notes I give myself to keep improving Sunspark. If you're curious!

Huge shout out to @rndr.bsky.social! Each one of these 454 frames would have taken an hour to render on my PC with multiple 3090s! On the Render Network it's only taken a fraction of the time. 🤯 And this is just one of 150+ shots for my short film Sunspark.

How I made Sunspark's piles of junk... #animation #cartoon #indiefilm #shortfilm #film #sunspark #sunsparkmovie #robot #3Danimation #stopmotion #c4d #octanerender #otoy #cinema4d #rendernetwork #3Dart @rndr.bsky.social
